Gobias Industries Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Interestingly, Revolution #9 becomes way more listenable in mono. I listened all the way through when at the office -- it became white noise as opposed to stick knitting needles in your ears bad. Who could have thought that such a Yoko Ono-influenced work could be listenable Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I haven't really noticed a difference in Revolution #9. Then again, I've been known to listen to it twice in a row before, so maybe I'm not looking all that hard. Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, I've been known to listen to it twice in a row before, so maybe I'm not looking all that hard.Part of what freaks me out so much with the stereo version is the way the "music" (sounds?) jumps from speaker to speaker.

Gobias Industries Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 22 years ago, I thought Sgt. Peppers hadn't aged well. It still hasn't. If by "aged well" you mean "still awesome," then you're right. Link to post Share on other sites

The Beatles did more with their 4 & 8 track machines than all these auto-tuned 96-track ProTools people ever will. Link to post Share on other sites

Barbarino Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I inherited all of my Mom’s original 60"s Beatles 45 singles when I was a kid... I remember being mesmerized by the sounds coming out of my little blue record player and that magical swirl of the Capital Record orange and yellow wave as it tuned on the turntable.. And then one day she threw them all out! Why Ma? Why! Link to post Share on other sites

Shit, most of the bands that are discussed on this board wouldn't even be here without the Beatles. No doubt they're old news but jesus, they paved the way. Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sgt. Peppers = Timeless Timeless = aged well Sgt. Peppers = aged well It's simple mathup until recently, this was an album i never really cared much for. in fact, i prolly never listened to it all of the way through. but after watching Beatles: Anthology and a behind the music thingy on the record, i have a new found appreciation for it. the methods they used in going about writing and recording these songs seem so common now but back then no one had ever dreamed of doing any of that stuff. and can you believe that as the Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper's, Pink Floyd was down the hall recording Piper at the Gates of Dawn?! there must've been some intense vibes in that building. crazy... Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I know I am not saying anything all that profound but one of the thigns that continues to amaze me about the Beatles (and which I am reminded of in all the recent press) is just how young they were. When they last recorded together none of them were even 30. Link to post Share on other sites

people are leaving Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I know I am not saying anything all that profound but one of the thigns that continues to amaze me about the Beatles (and which I am reminded of in all the recent press) is just how young they were. When they last recorded together none of them were even 30. So if Abbey Road had been released today, Please Please Me would date to April 2003. So think about that for a sec: Twelve studio albums and a couple of dozen singles, with a sound that went from earnest interpreters of Everly Brothers and Motown hits to mind-bending sonic explorers and with so many detours along the way-- all of it happened in that brief stretch of time. That will never be touched. Link to post Share on other sites
